chapter 10

This was it...The moment of truth. No turning back, but yeti wanted to. It almost felt like those moments in horror movies when the character has to walk through a door knowing full well that their doom lay ahead but was still compelled to go through with it.

I stood at the door. The door to my 'mother's' house. alone. Uncle Duncan refused to come with me. "I'll be right here when you come back", he said with that smile. I couldn't really blame him. This was my choice and who knew what he would do to that woman.

It was actually strange. As we pulled into the driveway of the mundane house, I was expecting to feel something, and have flashbacks of times there both good and bad. a sense of nostalgia maybe, but no. I felt... nothing. no joy or fear or anything. It was as though I had never been there before.

At the door, I hesitated. I was overthinking and panicking, but I knew that I couldn't stand there forever. I took a deep breath and stretched my hand to the door, but before I could ring the bell...

"Oh hello...um who are you?"

The door was opened and standing there, in the doorway- was my twin sister.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok no. She wasn't my twin sister, but she looked just like me, but slightly younger, maybe 15. Apart from age the only difference between us was the eyes. Hers were a common brown. She looked like just another person.

Oh wow I love your shades, she said smiling. I had worn my shades cause I didn't want to reveal myself to early. She seemed social and bubbly... How teens should be.

"Hello who are you? I asked awkwardly, and inwardly cringed at the stupidity of my question. She was obviously my sister. I'm not sure if she was real or step.

Her smile got bigger after the question. "I'm angel , nice to meet you"

Angle? I all most laughed out loud at the irony of the name. She named one child devil and the other angel, my mother is so creative. "Cute name. Is your... "

" Thank you!! I know right. my mom likes to call me Angelina which is so long and boring, but all my friends call me angel and my boyfriend, yes, I have a boyfriend. His name is Cav he calls me Angy.

I stood in silence as she continued talking about her boyfriend. Was it really so great to have one. my mind shoot to dean, but I quickly came back to my senses.

"Uhg Uhg", I fake coughed

Oh was I talking too much, my bad she said sheepishly. She was cute.

"Its ok. Is your mom here?" saying the word mom with reference to that woman left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Her face seemed to brighten up more at the mention of that woman. I guess she treated her well.

" My mom's inside" she said as she made her way past me.

Thank you" I smiled as we walked past each other. be fore she left I called out to her" you shouldn't let random strangers into your house."

"Oh I don't usually but you seem nice. Bye!" she said smiling innocently and waving goodbye. She was cute, but she was too trusting.
